It is quite simple. Sharing profiles with different versions is not supported.
The migration code ones knows one way and this is up from lower to higher
version. Especially the storage format changes frequently. Check you error
console for errors during startup. There are always a few but in case of an
older SeaMonkey and newer profile this can result in funky errors. Same for
some other options in recent versions. We needed to do bunch of SeaMonkey
specific migrations e.g. email image whitelisting in 2.49.
Sharing between different OS is also completely unsupported. If it works then
fine but some things like Lightning won't.
Sure unzipping and running the exe is fine if you don't need accessibility or
send mail from external applications under Windows (MAPI).
In short: Unless you have very specific needs stay with one version and just
backup the profile before upgrading so that you can go back without problems.

I never use the installer, only the zip distros. It is just unzip, create a
shortcut and run.
And, in case anyone is interested, the FF EXEs are really self extracting zip
files. You can unzip them to wherever you want and name their sub-directories
anything you want.
